There is a place called the midlands. You can argue about north and south all you like, us midlanders look down on all of you and disregard where you draw your imaginary divide :p
Perhaps then you can explain how no-one has, in the entire history of the British Isles, ever ever ever claimed to have come from 'The Midlands' in anything other than a northern accent?

shouldn't that be 'you look down on the south, but you look up to the north' :)
I prefer to take the old colonial view and make the world england.
Maybe both north and south could have the Bullseye theme tune. One would have the normal version, and one would have the sad 'didn't win the prize' version.
And you don't think a national anthem should be written by one of your own?
I don't think any of us could. Beautiful people are too busy with social lives to actually spend time creating something. It's the sad no lifers who create things, just to fill up the long lonely hours - look at emulation authors, for example, and the hundreds of Friday and Saturday nights spent working on Spud! ;) .
Come to think of it, if we do split England into two, then who gets custody of Wales?
Wales wouldn't be a burden to either of England's two halves, really. I mean, it's not like you'd ever have to pay for the Welsh football team to go to the World Cup, is it?

If I spent hundreds of hour on it then it would work properly...

You're northern, you don't put your hand in your pocket ever...
Well, the aforementioned geographical diagonal answers all of these issues; Wales is wet, hilly and sounds funny, and therefore northern. Skegness is down the coast from the Humber amongst arable farmland and therefore in the southern sector. All those who claim to be from 'The Midlands' would therefore be subject to border controls when heading geographically east towards it, thus encouraging them to stick to their side and head for somewhere I gather is known as 'Blackpool' if they still long for the exprience of icy coastal winds and seagull cr@p on their own terms.
I don't think the people of the South West / West Country (south only included in the name to make it clear that other areas are not included by confused people) would like being lumped in with London and Essex etc... :))

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb!
Looking forward to summer in Somerset later in the year :)

By the same token I don't think Mancurians would like be lumped in with Liverpudlians...
What an awful song (or is it an unfunny sketch from a sketch show?).
It's by the KLF. I think they were being ironic, like the time they burnt a million quid in the name of art. Have to say I preferred What Time Is Love though.
Love Justified and Ancient (with Tammy Wynette) - one of my favourite singles (and videos) ever.
As well as the bizarre staging, I love the way it's given that cross between early multi-media and 16-bit computer demo type presentation, with windowed views and scrolling info-text.

Wonder who's going to end up with Skegness?

As for the Midlands, that's clearly in The North as it is beyond Watford...
Yep. I thought at first of making my country's national anthem the theme from Bubble Bobble, but that would just be cruel to people listening to it...

It'll be it's own principality.

Don't know the 'rules' on words and anthems but I'd go for that :-)...
...unless we can have the tune from Xecutor that is.
No doubt someone's already suggested it, but I'm half asleep (then go to sleep! Ed)
